Artist. Have to hang my stuff somewhere.
From a printmaking class years ago, this was fun to do. I did not continue print making.
I still have some materials and tools.
Not too late to try again.
linocut and burin and brush.

Work in progress. Still working out my approach. Seems to involve increasingly "finished" underpaintings and some color glazing, if any color at all.

Couple of efforts using thin layers of oil paint. Limited colors, seems to work for me.

Old studies for a drawing that never happened. Perhaps I could repurpose these files.

oil painting 12 by 12 inches. I am not sure why size matters; but, everyone wants to know.

Oil painting on 9 by 12 inch paper. Sometimes I wonder if artists in the 21st century are missing something by buying all the prepped materials instead of making things themselves.

I still like this ink painting. It's a couple of years old now; but, it seems to be holding up, unlike my other efforts in the studio.

Idea sketch for an art studio/house.
Key points:
Relationship to the ground.
No traditional windows.
Courtyards.
